Christmas is my favorite time of year! In my family, food has always been a big part of the celebrations—woven into our traditions and adding to the festive fun. One thing I love is having a special Christmas breakfast ready to enjoy once the kids are done unwrapping gifts and soaking in the holiday magic.
You might skip a big meal for Christmas Eve or prefer to save the effort for dinner, and that’s perfectly fine!
